SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Application filed Match To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL WEIL, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in Shirts, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object to provide an improved mode of attaching securing-hooks to shirts, so as to prevent the Strain on the hooks from tearing the cloth.

To this end my'invention consists in the improvements which I will now proceed to de' scribe and claim.

Of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a front view of a shirt provided with my improvements. Fig. 2 represents a section on line at m, Fig. 1. Figs. 3 and 4 represen views of opposite sides of a portion of the shirtfslrsrq-b ing my improved mode of securing a hoo thereto.

The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.

In the drawings, a represents-a flannel shirt having a front opening, one of the sides, a, of

which is extended to overlap the opposite side, as is common in this class of shirts. The overlapping side is secured by hooks b and eyes 0, attached, respectively, to the body of the shirt at one side of the opening and to the overlap ping side a. Each hook b is secured by stitches or otherwise to'the inner side of the shirt, as shown in Fig. 4, and its bent portion passes through the hole in a metal eyelet, 6, set in the shirt, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4., the portion of the hook with which the eye engages being on the outside of the shirt and the other portion on the inside. The material of the shirt is thus caused to bear against the hook, and 40 prevents the eye from slipping too easily on PATENT OFFICE.

Patent No. 279,467, dated June 12, 1883, 12,1883. (No model.)

gaged therefrom. The metal eyelet e helps to support the strain on the hook and prevents the cloth from being torn. f f represent vertical ornamenting-plaits sewed upon the outer surfaces of the front and back of the shirt at bothsides of the center, and extending from the top nearly to the bottom of the shirt. Said plaits give the shirt the appearance of a blouse.

9 represents a pocket placed inside of the 411113, and having its mouth formed by cutting a slit in the shirt under one of the plaits f, the pocket being sewed to the opposite edges of said slit, as shown in Fig. 2. Said plait therefore entirely conceals the pocket and constitutes an elongated lid or flap therefor; so that while the pocket is conveniently located to be reached by the hand from the exterior of the shirt the latter presents no evidence of having a pocket adapted to be so reached.

The desired improvements may be applied to jumpers and other garments as well as shirts.

I reserve for a future application any patentable invention or design shown in the present application but not claimed.

I claim- 1. A garment having fasteninghooks 1) secured to its inner side and passing through holes in the garment, whereby the material of the garment is caused to hold the eye in engagement with the hook, as set forth.

2. A garment having fastening-hooks b secured to its inner side and metal eyelets e, through which the hooks pass, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name 7 5 to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 10th day of March,

SAMUEL WEIL.
